Operating

Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units or heating elements and may cause severe burns.

Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

For your safety never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a wellfitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Do not touch the surface units, the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact, the surface units, areas nearby or any interior area of sufficient

SURFACE UNITS-ALL MODELS

Use proper pan size-select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware will exposed portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.

Never leave the surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop service, others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.

To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby surface units.

Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.

Do not use.the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.

Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite.

Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt slowly.

Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

Troubleshooting Tips

Cooking Tips

Use medium- or heavyweight cookware. Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware is slow to absorb heat, but generally cooks evenly at low or medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined with other metals.

Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over when adding food. Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch foods frying at high temperatures. Keep range and hood clean from accumulated grease.

To conserve the most cooking energy, pans should be flat on the bottom, have straight sides and tight-fitting lids. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of the surface unit. A pan that extends more than an inch beyond the edge of the drip pan traps heat, which causes “crazing” (fine hairline cracks) on porcelain, and discoloration ranging from blue to dark gray on chrome drip pans.

Oven Shelf Positions

The oven has four shelf supports—A (bottom), B, C and D (top).

Shelf positions for cooking are suggested on Baking and Roasting pages.

Use of Aluminum Foil

If desired, a sheet of aluminum foil may be used on the floor of the oven under the bake element.

Be certain foil does not touch bake element. Aluminum foil used in this

way may slightly affect the browning of some foods. Change foil when it becomes soiled.

DO NOT place a sheet of aluminum foil on the shelf. To do so may result in improperly cooked foods, damage to oven finish and increase in heat on outside surfaces of the oven.

You may use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

The type of margarine wiII affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with Iow fat spreads. The Iower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:

Do not spray the oven cleaner on the

electrical controls and switches because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.

Do not directly spray oven cleaner onto the oven heating elements.

Do not allow a film from the cleaner to remain on the temperature sensor—it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor since a change in its position could affect how the oven bakes.

Do not spray any oven cleaner on the outside oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinet or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.

Allow 2” spacing from the range to adjacent vertical walls above the cooktop surface. Allow 30” minimum clearance between the surface units and the bottom of unprotected wood or metal top cabinet, and 18” minimum between the countertop and adjacent cabinet bottom.

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire when reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet storage space above the cooktop should be avoided. lf cabinet storage space is to be provided above the cooktop, the risk can be reduced by ¡nstalling a range hood that protrudes at least 5” beyond the front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above a cooktop may be no deeper than 13”.
